- I assume winnings are nontranferrable, e.g. you cannot trade 10 gold for a Training point

- Champions gain nothing. They are what they are as long as they are champions.

-You can do whatever you want with your money and property. Just do it in bold.

- Training points must be spent on the character that won.

It's counterintuitive, I know.

If you are 2:5 to win, then the odds are in your favor. Think of it this way: "My odds at the lottery are a million to one!"

A million to one is poor odds. Two to five is pretty good.

Oh, right. I was thinking "I win 2 out of every 5 matches" kind of thing.

I never use odds but I always use percentages as decimals and fractions, so my brain is not doing a good job at all of parsing these numbers.

ditto.

Any bids on the Dunkirk / Ommadawn match? I'm going to watch a TV program, so feel free to make bids, challenges and buy things. Two champions are still available to fight...more shall come...

Match 7

Belexes (Long Sword, Scale Mail) vs Xanadu (Dreamline, Chain Mail) - 11:9

5/16

18/14 = 8 damage to Belexes (5)

15/17

20/7 = 2 damage to Belexes (3)

3/5

15/8= 4 damage to Belexes (-1)

Poor Belexes never landed a hit, but he escaped with his life...

Rule update / clarification:

1. There is no Weapon Proficiency needed to use a unique weapon's power (this would lead to some problems later on- trust me). Any warrior can use a unique weapon fully.

2. Dreamline (Xanadu's weapon is a longsword. It is supposed to be 1d8+3, not 1d10+3.

Hopefully Snowie is more relieved than disappointed with #2.

I challenge THE GAZZARDIAN to armed combat in THE PINNACLE using DUNKIRK and his recently purchased HALBERD.

I will probably regret this but what the hay I ACCEPT WITH OMMADAWN AND HIS MIGHTY SPEAR

Andy made you an offer.

Seeing as I bought the Halbderd, not sure if I could afford it anymore. Embarrassed

I think I might stay with my halberd for now actually. Perhaps later.

Depends on what he's willing to sell it for. Wink

Matt, regretfully I must inform you that at 1:8 odds, your 3 gold bet resulted in a win of 0.38 gold, which rounded down is zero.

By Matt do you mean Andy? LOL

f**k me.

I swear I'm not drunk. Unhappy

Will fix this (wait, not that there's anything to fix), and I'll add the halberd right now.
